Services
Drop-In Writing Support
Designed for non‑enrolled R. A. Moffett Academy students, the Drop‑In Service provides targeted help with specific assignments or IEW units a student is struggling to complete. During this 45‑minute session, I will review the unit with the student, answer questions, clarify expectations, and offer guided support to help them move forward with confidence.
45‑minute session: $45
Paper Evaluation & Feedback
This service provides an IEW‑aligned evaluation using composition checklists, offering comments on structure, clarity, and stylistic techniques. Each paper receives targeted feedback to help students strengthen their writing skills and understand how to improve future assignments. Turnaround time for grading is typically about one week, depending on the length of the paper. This service is ideal for parents who prefer an outside evaluator to review their learner’s writing and is available to families who are not enrolled at R. A. Moffett Academy but would like expert feedback without committing to weekly classes.
$12.50 per paper

📜 THE GUILD CODEX
The Ancient Lore of the Writer’s Guild
🕯️ Prologue: The Calling of the Apprentices
Long ago, when stories shaped kingdoms and words carried the weight of destiny, a council of master writers formed the Writer’s Guild. Their purpose was simple yet profound: to train new apprentices in the ancient stylistic techniques that give writing its power.
Each apprentice who enters the Guild begins as a novice, armed only with curiosity and courage. Through trials, relics, and hidden challenges, they rise in skill and honor. Those who persevere may one day attempt the legendary Trials of the Medallion.
This Codex reveals the lore of the Guild and the relics you may earn on your journey.
